Add an update_index to every reference in a reftable, storing the exact transaction that last modified the reference. This is necessary to fix some merge race conditions. Consider updates at T1, T3 are present in two reftables. Compacting these will create a table with range [T1,T3]. If T2 arrives during or after the compaction its impossible for readers to know how to merge the [T1,T3] table with the T2 table. With an explicit update_index per reference, MergedReftable is able to individually sort each reference, merging individual entries at T3 from [T1,T3] ahead of identically named entries appearing in T2.
